8:32 am
people that have been killed already within the context of this political crisis now the root cause of this why are people so upset a lot of it has to do with the federal. billions of dollars in money that was allocated for social development projects is simply unaccounted for so not only are haitians calling for the resignation of the president saying that they have zero confidence left in the government what they're asking for is where that money went final campaign rally is a been held in nigeria ahead of saturday's presidential and parliamentary elections the youth vote is likely to play a major part in determining who when rising unemployment in the high inflation has left many young nigerians frustrated reports from. absalom mohammed says he's voting for the first time in saturday's election but he is frustrated the twenty year old finish school and confines work to try and survive he sells water on the street i can tell a lot of them a lot here i want the government to look after the poor and give us jobs i also
8:33 am
want to pull titian's to deal with insecurity in the country. when president mohammad do behati won the election four years ago he promised to fix nigeria's economy it's an important issue. and ninety million nigerians are extremely poor. extremely poor it says a major concern. and that. millions have been out of jobs. we didn't last for years so it's an important conversation for two thousand and nineteen. it's africa's biggest economy but that hasn't translated into jobs the majority of voters in africa's most populous nation are thirty five or younger presidential candidates promise to create more jobs if they win but some nigerians say they are tired of the promises they want action. you mohammed is one of those losing patience he repairs motorcycles but there are days when he has no clients
8:34 am
and that means no money to take home. are so illiterate. we can go to property in riyadh. which it will some want to give us that is why we always remember there is not. the twenty five year old like so many unemployed young people is hoping one day he will find a steady job. or a butcher. production of the world's largest passenger jet is to end due to a fall in orders will stop making the a three eighty in two years' time threatening thousands of jobs reports from the company's headquarters into moon's france. aviation fans call it the super jumbo the airbus a three eighty is the world's biggest passenger plane when it launched in two thousand and five bosses at the european plane maker hoped it would revolutionize long haul travel but now their
8:35 am
land is production in twenty twenty one i mean there's been speculation. for years that we were ten years to create the becomes clear when we were probably at least ten years too late or more powered by four engines the a three eighty double decker can carry more than five hundred forty passengers but since its creation its been plagued by delivery delays rising costs and falling orders bosses say the final blow came after to buy based airline emirates reduced an order of the model by thirty nine planes because of a fall in demand bosses of call the decision to end the a three eighty painful and disappointing but they admitted it made no financial sense to continue with such a large aircraft when the trend in airline travel is towards smaller planes like these trained between when airlines expected superjumbo to be the flagship of that fleet that switched very fast to airlines recognizing that actually there are smaller aircraft that seat a good amount of passengers but
8:36 am
a far more efficient and it's the efficiency that is king. shareholders have welcomed the end of the a three eighty considered by some as a financial drain indeed the company also announced a jump in profits on thursday but workers will be concerned as some three thousand five hundred jobs across the company are likely to be affected their bus will now focus on smaller planes but there will be many people who'd be sad to see the end of an aircraft widely regarded as a feat of a. engineering. al-jazeera to lose france well i mean a draw is an aviation expert at the university of west london he says the size of the aircraft limits where it can land because some airports can't accommodate such a big aircraft. say tracy is a fantastic aircraft and it's been flying for fourteen fifteen years. one of the challenges the airbus always had with the ever say three eighty is it was
8:37 am
operationally quite limited there was quite a few. airports around the world that it could not fly in to the airbus a three eighty was really designed for the big hub airports airports where congestion meant that more flights cannot land and the only way to get more passengers in was with a larger aircraft so there was a tracy although it's a great fantastic aircraft we must make know that it will continue flying for a good another twenty five thirty years but ultimately it's an aircraft with four engines there are a much much more technologically advanced aircraft being built by both airbus and boeing now and for airlines it just means that having smaller aircraft it's easier to fill the aircraft the load factor is much easier to achieve so this is the number of passengers that are on the aircraft compared to its capacity and so therefore a measure of revenue and also. you know the aircraft there nowadays are much more
8:38 am
fuel efficient therefore they're cheaper to run which makes the airbus a three eighty a little bit less popular much less popular with many of the world's airlines. the world's most.
8:39 am
thank you very much for four time world champion nicola shifrin has a mystery out on gold in her latest title run schifrin finished with
8:40 am
a bronze in the giant slalom events in sweden but instead it was. overcoming some high winds to win slovakia's first ever world title and her first major gold medal shifrin has already won gold in the super g. in or in the twenty three year old american one last shot of another medal that will come in saturday's long. is really the last because. for me is amazing and i am a large champion so in time. now i didn't expect today to perfect sounds. and i once felt and so also i had. three time grand slam champion and julie kerber has reached the semifinals of the cats are open the german survived a bit of a scare to advance kobe needed a final set cyborg to overcome her check opponent barbara stricker in three sets is kobe's first semi since she won at wimbledon last year. she will be joined in the
8:41 am
last four by twenty four team champion simona halep the world number three was a straight sets win against germany as well it could go up to number two in the world rankings if she wins this title. now a new organization is being set up by athletes who want more of a say on how their sports are run global athlete is a response to a series of scandals was notably the russian crisis many competitors were unhappy that the international olympic committee lifted russia's ban of the evidence of state sponsored doping was revealed the group is demanding a better anti doping system and more safeguards to protect cleaner planes british olympic champion calm skin is one of those voices and he hopes more will join him. i guess from a british point of view we kind of galvanized the community over the whole scandal and we got the likes of sir chris hoy caffein granger lives yarnell to sign a letter to what they please stick to the original the month of compliance to make
8:42 am
to bring back the show back into the fold but we didn't get it was all we wanted so what we thought would be best was to continue the movement the mobilization that we created a silver lining if you like to to what was quite a disappointing result i think it's going to be something as quite unique an olympic and paralympic sport we haven't seen anything like this before an independent body that is really just going to give the athletes a platform to share opinions and we hope to come to consensus with athletes that are in the world to see how we can make sport better place and i think the field bigger than just anti doping we want to target issues like welfare the commercial rights of athletes and also about getting athletes involved in decision making of sport because at the moment and this seems like quite a disconnect between the governance of sport and the athletes on the field water ski slope track whatever. the video assistant referee made a broadly positive impression at the world cup in russia last year but
8:43 am
a decision is yet to be made on whether it will be used at the women's world cup in june and certainly housing stock female referees making some big moves forward ahead of us for months in fronts from the u.n. reports from all. this could be the start of a new era in football an all male tournaments officiated entirely by women all the under seventeen teams from all major clubs like real madrid and p.s.g. are in qatar to compete for the outcast international cup and for the first time it's just women making the calls. this comes as an all female roster of referees and assistance was announced for the women's world cup in france this summer. the referees are using the tournaments to hone their skills on video assistant referee technology v.a.r. it was used at the men's world cup in russia and there's a good chance it'll be introduced to the women's tournaments to our first goal is
8:44 am
just to continue to improve the official so when we get to france that they are in top condition that we have support the tournament in a way that it deserves really the best referees and the best performances and i really expect nothing less and this tournament and seminar here that we're in qatar is really the way that we can fine tune but with only a few months to go until the world cup fever has yet to make up its mind on using v a r and that's raising concerns that the women's tournament won't have the same level of refereeing persuasion as their male counterparts perhaps one day will see a woman take charge of a match at the men's world cup the german bundesliga broke new ground in twenty seventeen when they used a woman referee for the first time but that's still a rarity it's a sport dominated by men and like the players who. women officials still have a long way to go before they draw level. maintains that the training is to keep the
8:45 am
same level of consistency among the male and female referees despite the very different challenges you have to sacrifice your family you have to sacrifice your time. many things for being here because we are athletes as well many people things that they we are only different versus what they were and that we have where we are in our competition as well it may still be a struggle but tournaments like this one increase the possibility of women regularly calling the offside rule to all major matches not just their own full name we in al-jazeera joe hockey. or parson john a looking good for a place in the last race of the champions league after a two know when i have a manchester united on tuesday a result i pulled off without the name of the world's most expensive player is instead working hard to recover from a broken bone in his foot an injury from out of action until at least april.
8:46 am
seemed to briefly figure out about while watching his teammates score against you know it's. ok but he's always fought for now more lights. thank you very much that's it for me down jordan for this news but don't go away on the back in a moment with more of the day's news that you.
8:47 am
rewind returns i can bring your people back to life i'm sorry. i was the floods. and the others to remind continues with spirit. so many people have gone to jail as a result. on al-jazeera the. things i learned the first
8:48 am
amendment is really key to being a freedom the challenge is going to be. the. story. we just tell you what the subject of the story. is not going to do the one thing the demonstrators want apologize for. we ask the questions so that we can get closer to the truth. u.s. president donald trump will use executive powers to declare a national emergency that will fund his border war with mexico. this is. coming up leaders of iran russia and turkey meet to decide how to talk to
8:49 am
the war in syria after u.s. troops pulled out one of the warsaw a conference on middle east peace and u.s. officials of. a potential venezuelan president nicolas maduro invites the u.s. special envoy. so. the white house says president trump will declare a national emergency to fund his border war with mexico it also sign a compromise border security deal to avoid another government shutdown the u.s. congress is expected to approve the bipartisan bill ahead of friday's deadline however the deal does not provide the full funds the trump has been demanding for his wall democrats say they're made fun of legal challenges against the mood i know the republicans have some unease about it no matter what they say because if the president can declare an emergency on something that he has created as an emergency
8:50 am
it is illusion that he wants to convey just think of what a president with different values can present to the american people you want to talk about a national emergency let's talk about today the one year anniversary of another manifestation of the epidemic of gun violence in america that's a national emergency why don't you declare that emergency mr president i wish you would john hendren joins us live now from washington d.c. john so president trump sent to the klan emergency to get his will funded tell us what this means john and what sort of precedence does it set. well the president is doing an end run around the u.s. congress for a couple of months there has been this standoff between the presidents and president of the democrats who won control of the house of representatives in january. so he's been asking for is wall funding they wouldn't give it they shut down the government for thirty five days and in the end he gave up without the five
8:51 am
point seven billion dollars in wall funding and the senate has passed a spending measure that doesn't include that wall funding just this evening on thursday the house is expected to pass it within hours so president trump is now saying that he will declare an emergency that gives him access to a contingency fund that congress has already passed and he wants to use that money to declare a wall this sets a precedent in the sense that in previous emergencies like the recovery from nine eleven a flu pandemic the iran hostage crisis all of these things were non-controversial when those presidents that cleared them with the president is doing now is trying to achieve what he couldn't get through congress and members of congress democrats and republicans are like are very nervous about it they say that a future president a democratic president could declare gun violence or climate change to be national emergencies that has republicans nervous so the president was going to move forward
8:52 am
with this we'll see if he succeeds and join us nancy pelosi has already said the democrats will thought a legal challenge and republicans of course had warned him not to declare an emergency so why is he doing it and is it to save face and if you think. the president is eager to fulfill his number one campaign promise that he would build it two thousand mile wall along that southern border with mexico and if he can't do it he wants to show his core supporters that he's done everything possible in order to do that but the democrats now have a comp a live option is they could pass a bill that would forbid the president from spending the money in this way but that would have to go through the senate and the senate is controlled by republicans it's not clear that that would go through so the democrats have the other option which is a court challenge they could say this is not a national emergency that illegal border crossings or arrests for illegal border crossings are at a forty year low that is likely to take
8:53 am
a long time just as the campaign for the two thousand and twenty election is gearing up so stay tuned we don't know how long this could go but this could be an issue for months even more than a year john thank you now the u.s. senate house confirm william burroughs the new attorney general running the lawyer about a job he held more than twenty five years ago the position remains bawal to head the u.s. justice department overseeing the special counsel robert muller as inquiry into possible russian collusion in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election a senate vote of laws may along party lines bob could be sworn in within the next few days. the former deputy director of the f.b.i. has revealed that top u.s. justice department officials had meetings in twenty seventeen to discuss removing president trump from office under mccabe says the move was considered because he and colleagues were so alarmed by trump's decision to fire james comey the i directed at the time white house correspondent can really help get reports. it's
8:54 am
the first time anyone working on the investigation into u.s. president donald trump's alleged campaign ties to russia has publicly stated there were discussions on whether he should be removed from office the work of the men and women of the f.b.i. andrew mccabe was the deputy director of the f.b.i. and was fired from his job last march for misconduct the white house denied any involvement in the decision even though trump has repeatedly claimed mccabe was out to get him i was speaking to the man who had just run for the presidency and a cheat and won the election for the presidency and who might have done so. with the aid of the government of russia it is first interview mccabe says the discussions over trump's removal came up just after trunk fired f.b.i. director james comey in may twenty seventeen for his involvement in the russia
8:55 am
investigation i was very concerned that i was able to put the russia case on absolutely solid ground in an indelible fashion that war i removed quickly or reassigned or fired but the case could not be closed or vanish in the night without a trace mccain says there were conversations about possibly removing under the twenty fifth amendment of the us constitution he also confirms deputy attorney general rod rosenstein had offered to wear a wire around the president but their claims the justice department disputed on thursday calling mccabe's recollections inaccurate and factually incorrect mccabe's public statements have been rage trump who lashed out on twitter writing disgraced f.b.i. acting director andrew mackay pretends to be a poor little angel when in fact he was a big part of the crooked hillary scandal and the russia hoax a puppet for
8:56 am
a leak in james komi mccain's account comes as the f.b.i. investigation led by special counsel robert mueller continues ridiculous partisan investigations trump has repeatedly criticized the probe into whether russia meddled in the twenty sixteen election calling it a witch hunt if there is going to be peace and legislation there cannot be war and investigation a senate committee is reportedly wrapping up its own russia probe a report this week said they've uncovered no direct evidence of a conspiracy between trump's campaign and the kremlin kimberly held at al-jazeera washed. the senior democrat on the u.s. senate foreign relations committee wants the trumpet ministration to hand over
8:57 am
documents related to the killing of a saudi journalist. senator bob menendez sent a letter to secretary of state might pump a zero requesting records about whether any senior saudi officials including crown prince man bin sound man was responsible for his death show she was killed last october when he into the saudi consulate in istanbul his body has never been found my kind of has more from washington d.c. well it's another solve in the ongoing struggle between congress and the trump administration over the investigation into the death of jamal khashoggi the senior democrat on the senate foreign intelligence committee has sent a letter to the secretary of state demanding that all material relevant to the investigation by the department into the murder of jamal khashoggi be handed over to the senate by february the twenty eighth now back in october the senate sent to the trumpet ministration a letter demanding a full investigation into the death and to report back within one hundred twenty
8:58 am
days all that report that period expired the sloss friday there was no response from the trumpet ministration apart from a letter from the secretary of state outlining the sanctions that had been imposed against seventeen saudi individuals in connection with the murder of jamal khashoggi however bob menendez insists that this is simply not enough pointing out too that the senate had requested trump administration to investigate specifically the possible involvement of the crown prince mohammed bin solomon in the murder of jamal khashoggi so this once again heightening this ongoing struggle between congress and the trumpet ministration into the investigation into the murder of jamal khashoggi and the comfortability for that particular death being attributed perhaps to senior saudi leaders. hundreds of i still fight and surrendered to syrian democratic forces in the eastern region of dam and that's where kurdish
